Rimmel VoxBox!

Hey there!

I wanted to share with you about my latest VoxBox that I got free through Influenster... I was so excited when this came through the post (It was my first one!), I had been really looking forward to trying their foundation in particular.

A lot of foundations I have tried recently have been fairly heavy and have not made my skin feel very fresh or natural so when I first used Rimmel's Lasting Finish Foundation, I was sooooo happy!
It has an interesting applicator like a lipgloss wand (It probably has a proper name, sorry) which actually makes it so much easier to apply.
The foundation itself really is very lasting! It doesn't clog my skin at all and it gives a gorgeous finish. I am so happy with it.

I also got their concealer which I do really like, but wasn't quite so excited about. I like the actual product when applied very much, however I feel like the sponge applicator didn't dispense the concealer very well sometimes and so made it hard to use.

Two products were included within the package as an extra... One was a beautiful Moisture Renew Lipstick in the shade, Vintage Pink which I actually already own (I love it so much!) it's such a pretty and unique colour, it has a purple tone but not too much, helping it to be a great everyday/workwear shade. I would definitely recommend it!
The second was their Sculpting Palette which includes a highlighter, bronzer and blush, it's a nice set actually and is good to have everything in one. They are all really nice colours too so I have been using them all daily! (I'm a bit of a newbie to highlighters, so I approve of this!)

So that's my review of my Rimmel products within my VoxBox! I have been really happy with each of these and incorporate them into my daily makeup looks. The only thing I am not so keen on is the fact Rimmel test on animals :( I have just started to become more and more aware of this and so from now on will make sure I look out for the non cruelty to animals symbol <3

Let me know what you think and if you've tried any of these products! Also if you have any questions about Influenster then feel free to ask away :)

Something You - A Very Simple Nail Look...

Hope you are all having a wonderful last day of the week! Tomorrow is the weekend so we can all be happy :)

I thought I would post a little simple nail look for you all to copy! It is so simple that I don't think I can even call it a tutorial, but it is pretty so I thought I'd share <3

Step One: Firstly using a dark red nail polish just paint 1-2 coats. You can even alter this look by using a dark blue or purple instead, whichever you fancy most!

Step Two: Using Lottie London's nail polish in To and FROW, just paint over the base coat. You'll only need one coat of this as there is a lot of glitter coverage! 
*You may want to apply a clear coat over the top, as it isn't as shiny as you might like.

Step Three: Oh wait... That's it! It's really that simple ;)

Hope you like this, let me know what you think! Happy weekend for tomorrow xxx

Something Borrowed - Magazine Pick

 

Magazine Pick

(Borrowed from the Times Style mag!)

Just saw this feature in the Times Syle Magazine and it really stood out to me!

I had a little look at all the autumnal eyeshadow shades and was very impressed :) They are such easy and wearable colours and I'm sure you could get a good smokey eye out of them. 

I was also happy at the range of prices used, as they are not all high end products and brands, there are a lot of affordable items there too! Yay!

Rundown...

So I took my favourite products from the list and thought I would give you my views about them and a link to buy them too!

Rimmel Magnif'eyes Mono Eyeshadow - VIP Pass

This was the first one to stand out to me on the page! In the magazine, it has the lid open so you can't see the brand. I thought it was going to be an expensive one but was pleasantly surprised to see it is just at £4.50 per item. It is a really rich shade and would be great for a really deep and dark eyeshadow look if you applied it to the full lid. I'm sure it would make a nice smokey eye too applied to the crease!

Chanel Entrelacs Eyeshadow Pallete

I really like this pallete because it has really strong colours within the set. Often you can buy palletes that don't have dark enough browns for example, which is okay but means you can't do a really dramatic look. I love the tones they have included... It's so nice! But is quite a lot of money :( Priced at £46, it may have to be on your Christmas wish list!

Lancôme Sourcils Gel Waterproof Gel-Cream Eyebrow Pot  

I'm going to be honest, I didn't actually realise this was an eyeBROW product at first! That's okay though because it's still pretty cool. You can choose from a number of different shades to suit your colouring. As well as this, the fact it is a gel is great because it will be easier to apply and you can really build it up depending on how bold you want to go! This little pot is priced at £19.50.

Hope you liked my choices from this article, it really stood out to me on the whole and so thought I would share my favourites with you! Have a lovely day :) x

Something You – Autumn 2015 Lip Shades

Seeing as it is now definitely Autumn (Although it is lovely and sunny today!) I thought I would do a seasonal blog post and post something for you. My favourite lip colours and shades for the Fall!

 I have chosen my four favourites, I will run you through them below:

Bourjois (Rosewood Pearl) – I have had this lipstick for a little while and it is a really nice shade to wear. I feel like you don’t have to be too daring to wear this shade and it goes with a lot of makeup looks which is great! It is also more moisturising than some lipsticks which is important for when it starts to get colder :)

L’Oreal (Place Vendome) – I was given this lipstick for a present which was lovely! I think it is a beautiful colour :) Normally I don’t like red lipsticks because a lot are too bright or they just don’t suit me, but I feel like this is better because it has slightly darker tones and gives a beautiful colour when applied.

Rimmel (Amethyst Shimmer) – If you want to add a bit of colour to your look, this is a great lipstick to go for. It is fabulous for the transition between Summer and Winter because it’s not too bright (like something you might wear in the Summer) but still provides a lovely pop of colour for your lips with a really sophisticated tone :)

No7 (Under the Sun) – Finally I have chosen this lovely lipstick shade. It pretty much sums up Autumn to me. It has really rich, coppery, earthy tones and I think it is beautiful on. Again, as with all of the shades I have chosen, it is not too bright and will make your lips look absolutely gorgeous!

Let me know what you think, tell me if you have other favourites for Autumn, I would love to hear from you :)

All the best
